- Seventeen different songs have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2024 so far.
- Kendrick Lamar has three hits on the list, the most of any artist.
- "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey has had the longest run with 19 weeks atop the chart.
The Billboard Hot 100 is widely considered to be the definitive all-genre chart for songs in the US.
Although it offers only one way to measure popularity, earning Billboard's highest rank is a notable achievement in an artist's career, whether it's a predictable No. 1 debut like Taylor Swift's "Fortnight", a new star's coronation like Sabrina Carpenter's "Please Please Please," or a surprise indie leader like Hozier's "Too Sweet."
Like last year, when Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, and Zach Bryan scaled the chart, country music continues to resonate far beyond Nashville; after Shaboozey was featured on Beyoncé's No. 1 album "Cowboy Carter," which also spawned a No. 1 song, he went on to dominate the Hot 100 with his own breakout hit.
Ariana Grande, Post Malone, and Wallen have also enjoyed massive commercial success this year, earning two chart-toppers on the Hot 100 apiece. Kendrick Lamar has three, setting a record for the most among solo male artists in a single calendar year.
Below is a list of every song that took the top spot in 2024, in chronological order of the original peak date.
